Ways to keep cosy in Winter...

Hey Guys!

It's been so cold this week, so I am going to show you some ways you can keep cosy. There are many ways, such as cosy pyjamas or slippers, but I went for some more interesting ideas. Share with me if you tried some out. I also enjoy photography and editing, so some of these pictures have been played around with!

1) Taking pictures of sunrises and sunsets.

There are many reasons why taking pictures of

sunsets can be so pretty and cosy. For starters, when it's really cold, to be honest a sunrise is quite nice, compared to wind.

I took some from my window and at school, as they made me feel warm and cosy when I was cold.

                                               

  2) Making a cosy corner on your bed.

Add some cushions and blankets to the corner of your bed, snuggle up and maybe add some fairy lights to make it effective. Maybe watch a film, or read a book, the decision is yours. 

3) Gingerbread Cookies

A touch of baking can add some fun to your winter and can leave you feeling scrumptious.

4) Candles

Candles are so pretty and can always keep you warm. Some have scents, some don't. But lighting them and taking lots of pictures can be so comforting, as well as the smell when you blow them out!

There are many ways you can keep cosy in winter, and these are only some of them. Hope you have a great week and a cosy winter.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies

 

 

Hey Guys!

 

It's my first ever baking video on my blog and I can't wait to share these with you. To be honest, I hadn't actually tried them before but I liked the look of them so I thought I would share this recipe with you.

 

 

 

For these cookies you will need:

1 Cup Unsalted Butter

1 Cup Peanut Butter

1 Cup Granulated Sugar

1 Cup Brown Sugar

2 Large Eggs

2 Cups All-Purpose Flour

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 Cup Chocolate Chips

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the equipment you will need:

2 Baking Trays Lined

A Bowl

A Wooden Spoon

A Whisk

Scales

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) Cream the butter until smooth.

 

2) Add the peanut butter and both of the sugars until they are all combined together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3) Add the egg after beating them and mix it all in. Don't worry if your mixture splits, the flour will help it after.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4) Sieve the flour and mix it in along with the baking soda until well combined.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5) Stir in the chocolate chips. Your mixture should end up something like this.

 
 
 
 

 

 

6) Scoop little bits onto the tray and leave a bit of a gap between. Place in the oven for about 15 minutes or until they are cooked. Even if they are soft take them out and they will harden up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My cookies came out in weird shapes as I didn't spread them out enough. However they still tasted really nice and I would really recommend them.

DIY Leaf Stamp Tree

 

 

Hey Guys!

 

I decided that I would do a DIY this week, as I haven't really done one for a while. I must admit that they are all autumn related at the moment but to be honest, they will change as it gets later in the year. This DIY is how to make a leaf stamp and how to use it to make a picture of a tree. So, let's get started.

 

 

 

For this DIY you are going to need:

 

- Some card or paper,

- A black sharpie and possibly brown,

- A potato,

- A knife,

- A paintbrush and

- Some paint the colour of your choice.







Step 1 - Cut out your shapes into your potatoes. You can make them any size or shape, but don't make them too complicated or big.









Step 2 - Draw a trunk to your tree. Place some paint onto your stamp and start stamping, I decided that I would make a base with larger leaf in a lighter colour, so I placed them all over the paper so that I could make the shape of a tree.








Step 3 - Start layering up your tree using a different colour and possibly a smaller leaf. This will add more effect and make it look more like a tree. You can also put some underneath the tree so that it looks like some leaves are falling.












Step 4 - You are finished. You can make any other picture you want. Personally, I like the tree, however you can make a flower.






Hope you can have your own try at making these, let me know in the comments below.

Quotes To Keep You Going

 

Hey Guys!

 

So I thought it's back to school time and we all need a bit of motivation to keep going! I went to Lakeside last week and I went to Paperchase and I bought a couple of postcards with some inspiring creative quotes on them. I thought I would share them with you and talk a little bit about them.

 

 

 

 

 Dream It Believe It Achieve It

 I love this quote so much and I think it is one of my favourites. It always helps me when I am performing or thinking about the future. I go to a theatre school, so this quote really relates to that and keeps me aspiring to this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Nothing Goes Right Go Left

 

This quote is always helpful when you are having a bad day. If nothing is going right for you, always look at the other side and take the other direction until you get it right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful

 

This is true. No matter who you are, love who you are. Be whoever you want to be and don't let anyone put you down. Do what it takes to make you happy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really think these quotes can really change your day and make it a whole lot better. Hope this makes your week better. Always look at these quotes when you need them.
